The pinacol coupling is one of the most significant methods to synthesize vic-diols. The combination of samarium diiodide (SmI2) and samarium metal successfully induces the selective pinacol couplings of not only aromatic aldehydes and ketones but also aliphatic ones in the presence of trimethylchlorosilane (Me3SiCl) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). DME is the most suitable solvent for the reduction system

of samarium diiodide (SmI(2)) with tetraglyme catalyzes the intermolecular pinacolcoupling of aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes at loadings of 10 mol % in the presence of Me(2)SiCl(2) and Mg. Diastereoselectivity of up to 95/5 (+/-/meso) has been achieved for aliphatic aldehydes and up to 19/81 (+/-/meso) for aromatic aldehydes. De values of up to 99% have been achieved in intramolecular pinacol coupling

Herein we report a practical pinacol coupling reaction, in which ketones (aldehydes) react smoothly with Sm and TMSBr to afford the diol products with Sm(II) or (III) siliyl species generated in situ. This reported method affords poor yields for aromatic ketone substrates and good yields for aliphaticketones. Therefore, it distinguishes from most reductive coupling approaches that are more effective for
